I Know, I know..they shouldn't be stumped on anything..but..lots of good solutions to just about everything Barth on here..just curious, temp password maybe or just plain, a bad idea..?

Actually I believe this is already underway. One of the best features of this site is our archives. If you Google an RV topic chances are good you get a BM.com hit. Considering the number of other brands and the large number of nonBarth owners we are highly over represented. This is one of the reasons why I do so many projects and post pictures, to continue building the archives. Sadly as our older owners continue to age out, the new younger members and mechanics have much less background knowlege. (Many of them have never SEEN a carburetor except on a lawn mower!) No more points and tuneups, etc.

Case in point: My engine swap pulled in about 1000 views while it was underway. Since then it has over 41,000 views, not all Barth people by any means!

Please encourage any mechanics to share part numbers and sources as well. We love photos too. If you have good pics we can help get them here.

Good luck to all finding competent mechanics who are willing to work with our orphans!
